"Words are futile devices"

it's been a long long time since i've memorized your face

it's been four hours now since i've wandered through your place

and when i sleep on your couch i feel very safe

and when you bring the blankets i cover up my face

i do

love you

i do

love you

and when you play guitar i listen to the strings buzz

the metal vibrates underneath your fingers

and when you crochet i feel mesmerized and proud

and i would say i love you but saying out loud is hard

so i won't say it at all

and i won't stay very long

but you are the life i needed all along

i think of you as my brother

although that sounds dumb

words are futile devices
